“Huh! Wait… he’s blushing” Melissa mumbled as she looked at her chest, a large smile formed on her face.

“Do you have a girlfriend?” Melissa closed her eyes and asked.

“A girlfriend, I don’t have a girlfriend,” Alex said looking at Melissa, her eyes were still closed but she looked happy, “But why are you asking?”

“N-Nothing…I was just asking, I also don’t have a boyfriend” Melissa said before covering her mouth again.

‘What is wrong with me, he didn’t ask me if I have a boyfriend, why did I blab about it’ Melissa cursed under her breath.

“Really, I thought someone as beautiful as you would have guys flocking over you, and you don’t have a boyfriend,” Alex said.

“Yours is more surprising, I’m sure girls hit on you a lot, I don’t go out that much so I don’t have many friends and guys don’t talk to me much” Melissa replied.

“Even your skin alone is enough to tell people you don’t go out much, just a little more and you’ll be as white as snow” Alex chuckled.

“Humans can’t be as white as snow but I’ll try my best” Melissa replied with a smile.

“The cake is really tasty, is your mum a baker?” Alex asked.

“No, it’s just one of her hobbies, one of her friends is a baker so she learned from her, at first the cakes she made were really bad but over time she got really good” Melissa spoke.

“She going to make a hit if she opens a bakery”

“Really, I’ll tell her you said so”

‘I have to watch what I say, luckily we got past the boyfriend and girlfriend discussion, why did I even ask him in the first place, I’m such a fool, but at least now I know he doesn’t have a girlfriend’

‘Even though he doesn’t have a girlfriend, do I have a chance with him, he’s really handsome so would he want to date a girl like me’

‘Ohh, he told me I have a great shape and body, does this means he likes me or he likes my body, is he thinking about having sex with me’ Melissa closed her mouth with her hands.

‘No, he can’t be having such thoughts right, if he’s having such thoughts he would have made a move on me, why don’t I know anything about boys, in high school, I was so shy I couldn’t even look a boy, now I’m regretting’

Alex sat still looking at Melissa as she made different facial expressions, if felt like she was talking to someone but she was by herself, a smile formed on his face as he stare at her.

“Thanks for inviting me in,” Melissa said as she stood up.

“No problem, you’re welcome here anytime” Alex replied.

“Thanks,” Melissa said as she walked towards the door with Alex behind her.

Before she could open the door, the door was opened by Alex’s mum, as soon as she opened the door she came face to face with Melissa.

“H-Hello…” Melissa mumbled immediately.

“Oh, hi…” Alex’s mum said as she quickly walked in, Ariana and Alisha followed her while staring at Melissa who had her head down.

She quickly exited as soon as they walked in without talking even though Alex’s mum wanted to talk to her.

“I thought you were going to the gym, is that an excuse so we won’t ask you what you did” Alex’s mum smirked.

“Stop making faces mum, I didn’t go to the gym because I was tired, and we didn’t do anything, she gave me a cake for helping her yesterday, that’s all,” Alex said.

“Cake…” Ariana shouted and looked towards the small table, immediately she dashed towards the table as she saw the chocolate cake waiting for her there.

“I guess you got yourself a girlfriend, she’s really beautiful,” Alisha said with a sly smile plastered on her face.

“What’s with your smile, are you saying she’s not beautiful?” Alex asked.

“So you like her, she’s really beautiful, I hope she says yes to you, you are clueless about girls” Alex’s mum spoke as she walked towards the kitchen.

“I’m not clueless about girls, I’ve dated before,” Alex said.

“I’ve heard you”

“I’m going out for a run, after eating that cake I’m ready to burn some energy,” Alex said.

“Come back quickly, I’m trying out a new recipe, you’ll like it,” Alex’s mum said from the kitchen.

“Okay mum, and Ariana don’t eat all the cake, your stomach won’t be able to take it” Alex spoke.

“O-Okay… I’ll… leave some for y-you” Ariana said with a mouthful of cake.

Alex quickly went upstairs to take his jacket and cap, outside was always cold so even if he was going for a run, he would still need his jacket.

“I’ll just run around, if I’m not tired then I’ll repeat it,” Alex said as he stood in front of the estate gate.

“Finally he’s out, I didn’t want to kill him at home, he made it easier” Bridget mumbled as she stared at Alex from a distance.

“It’s so cruel that he was born with such fate, and he’s so handsome, one death to save the whole world isn’t bad, Alexander Quinn you would save millions of lives” Bridget mumbled as she walked forward.

Alex was jogging quite slowly, he was almost halfway and his strength and stamina haven’t depleted in the slightest, he was sure he could run around the estate up to three or four times.

Alex used this opportunity to look around admiring the surrounding, since he hadn’t been here for almost a year and he haven’t been to this estate at all, all the buildings around were extremely beautiful.

“Alex!!!” a familiar voice called him.

Alex looked over and Bridget was standing close to a building, he stopped and walked towards.

“Hi, do you stay around here?” Alex asked.

“No, I was just passing when I saw you, do you stay here?” Bridget asked.

“Yes, over there,” Alex said as he pointed at his house.

“Ohh, I’m really sorry about this,” Bridget said as she straightened her hand and hit Alex’s neck, as soon as he was hit he felt himself falling and his eyes were forced closed.

The estate only had a few people around, and none of them paid any attention to Alex, and after some seconds both of them were nowhere to be found.

…

“You idiot, I clearly told you to be careful” a voice jolted Alex back to life, Alex opened his eyes and he was standing in front of a man fully clothed in black with his hair and beard white.

“Who are you?” Alex asked as he stood up and put on a defensive pose.

“What are you planning to do with that, I’m the sixth elder god, I warned you didn’t I, why didn’t you listen” the man shouted, and the cave there were in vibrated.

“Bridget, she knocked me out, why did she do that?” Alex muttered.

“She’s going to kill you,” the man shouted.

“What!! Why?”

“Why are you so surprised, I warned you, what were you doing out, she was sent by the elder gods’ to get rid of you because if the mark, the revival of the Demon Lord is already near”

“Bridget was sent to kill me, then why was she…wait then our meeting wasn’t a coincidental when we first meet she told me she haven’t seen a human as handsome as me in 60 years, I thought she was just joking” Alex shouted.

“It’s over,” the man said as he sat down.

“What do you mean it’s over, I can’t just die right, I need to save the world from the demon Lord right?” Alex said.

“You didn’t believe the demon Lord existed, and now you want to save the world, you can’t escape so you’ll surely die, I’m really sorry my mark was passed to you” the man sighed heavily.

“Can’t you do something, you told me I have powers right?”

“You don’t believe you have powers, if this was Nova Online you would have saved yourself but in real life, you are just Alex who’s scared of knives”

“So that’s all you have to say, I thought you were a god”

“I told you I lost my powers, I told you to be careful, don’t blame this on me, even if you have a way to escape you won’t be able to fight her head on and win,”

“Do you have a plan what do I need to do, tell me” Alex shouted.
